Coron resort aims to be ‘wedding destination’

Two Seasons Coron lsland Resort and Spa is positioning itself to take advantage of the growing “destination wedding” market, offering venues for garden, beach, or chapel weddings.

“Destination weddings,” according to several online wedding planners, are defined as weddings that are held 100 miles or more from the bride’s home. Here in the Philippines, they are more informally defined as weddings that take place in a different province than the home of either of the newlyweds.
